So I have rolling shell s1 r33 that is stripped except hood and fenders and here is what I want to do.

Genuine nismo heritage r33 GTR front bar (Use heatgun to make fit with fenders)

GTR Front Grille. (Real GTR not GTR "Style"

 

Will this work and look nice with GTST Hood and fenders? I just like the GTR front better than GTST but I won't put gtr logo on since it is not a gtr.

I'm sure there is some older threads about this, but I expect that the guards and indicators are wider on GTR than GTST, so it won't match up. If I remember correctly there were aftermarket "GTR style" front bars made for GTST which would be a better way to go, or change the guards/indicators as well if you can get them

I only want genuine GTR parts for the front so would using a heat gun and bending the bumper make it fit to the fenders? and if the gtr is just longer (Apart from fenders) would I be able to fit a GTR grille.

This is stupid

either do the whole lot- guards, gaurd raisers, bonnet, grill and front bar or don’t do it at all.

the gtst is narrower than a gtr. If u heat bend the gtr bar around it’s going to end up going past the wheel arch line and your either going to have to trim it back or leave it with a stupid step between the wheel arch and front bumper

i don’t even remember the grill being a direct swap over.

you are honestly better off buying a gtr style bar made to fit a gtst from a reputable business. 
you are going to butcher a perfectly good expensive front bumper

Alright I guess I will go the non-genuine route (I did not want to originally but seems easiest and cheapest). Could you recommend any companies that do a GTR grille and bumper that actually look good

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
